Legends of Equestria - Forum

Any thoughts, opinions, reviews, discussions, etc etc?  Also tips for other players either new or experienced, easter eggs, etc.

((and no, I did do a search for it on this board and the only thing that came up was a suggestion by lurk to meet up in it))

I played it a bit, it's a fun game. The start of the game is a bit slow because you have to do like 30 quests before you can leave the start zone and roam freely.
It's easy to pick up and play, it runs very smoothly even on some poorer computers, theirs unique classes to specific races, and instruments! Musical instruments that you can actually buy and make custom songs with!
It makes the social part of the game so much fun! You use the 1-9 buttons for sounds and you can change the pitch from high to low.
EDIT: You don't need to use IRL money for the instruments, you use gold in game.

Another very cool feature to the game is you can look however you want, for real this time. You can pick up something you can't even use yet and make your clothing look like it, so you can have high defense with light looking armor or a smaller weapon than what you have. Theirs limits though, you can't make a short sword look like a greatsword, it has to be the same weapon type.
EDIT2: For clothing the limits are that you can't make your iron boots look like cloth, it has to be the same type of armor.
Theirs also items in the game SPECIFICALLY made to be cosmetic and cool looking. They tend to be expensive though.

Tips: You can do deeds in every area of the game (like visiting five sites or defeating thirty flies etc) for Turbine Points (TP), usually 5-25 TP per deed.  TP can be traded in for expansions, quest packs, new areas, new skills, extra inventory space, and more.  And yes, it is entirely possible to go through the entire game, and get everything there is to get, with just deeds, not a single red cent from your pocket.

Tips: Defeat everything in sight that's yellow, you get more points for defeating yellow than green.  Red usually isn't worth it, and run when you see purple.

Tips: Loot everything, and keep it if you have room until you get back to a vendor for fixing equipment.  They will literally buy everything, even random bug shells and slimy goo, sometimes for gold when you get to higher levels.  You can also turn in seemingly useless things five times a day at green colored Task boards in cities around the game, such as Bree or Hobbiton.

Tips: lock the items you want to keep in your inventory.  Then you can just click "sell all" when you go to the vendor.

Tips: Vendors can fix your equipment, but wait until the equipment is broken before fixing.  Half-broken equipment works just as well as fully-new equipment.

Tips: Quest weapons and armor are better than the stuff you get at vendors, so think twice before buying that supposedly cheap new set from the vendor.

Tip: Hunters run faster than other races and can share speed if you want to get to the next point faster.

Tip: The mount ability costs TP.  Do a few deeds before you try getting one so you don't have to pay money.

Tip: You get extra stuff on holidays!  Try doing holiday quests during the time they are available for special items!

Tip: Don't try doing fellowship quests alone, you WILL fail no matter how high level you are.  Trust me, you can get defeated in a level-twenty fellowship quest as a level-fifty character, easily.

I shall post here to keep an eye out for tips. Level 7 so far. :]

good job! :)

More tips: If you survive without dying once all the way to level 20, you get the title "The Undying" (just for pride, no perks)
Tip: Go ahead of the slowpoke you're escorting and kill the enemies before the slowpoke gets there, it's faster.
Tip: If you're ranged, don't let them get anywhere near you.
Tip: Stun first, shoot next.  Or if there's multiple enemies, stun the others while you're concentrating on one.
Tip: Figure out the sequence for maximum effect and minimum cooldown, or you might find yourself standing there taking hits and not being able to do anything.
Tip: Fishing does absolutely nothing besides giving you bragging rights and decorations.
Tip: It's faster to go cross-country than to go on roads.
Tip: Some food only increases power, not morale.
Tip: Keep an eye on your power meter.  If it goes to zero, you can't do anything until it recharges again.
Tip: You can move your controls around a bit if you want; look in the options menu.  It's a lot easier to rapidly mount/dismount when the button is in a convenient location, etc.
Tip: Don't go past Chetwood into the hills if you're anywhere under lvl 40, there are lvl 50 uruk-hai there.
Tip: When farming for reputation points, refuse the quests that have you go kill bosses in the South Downs in Bree, unless you've got lots of friends to help.
Tip: Farm reputation points, they give you awesome gear and stuff.
Tip: Keep all your mathoms, especially the mathoms you get from quests or from defeating enemies.
Tip: If you're looking for profit and don't want to work too hard for it while exploring, choose Explorer.

I'm hoping to try a whole lot of new games when I build my new gaming pc around Christmas, this is one of them  ^-^

awesome! :D

So I'll probably be downloading this soon. I went and watched some reviews and gameplay on youtube last night...It's just too much to pass up!  ovO

I could play it with you. :3
I just have to redownload the whole game. :\

Which server will you be on? :3

I'm actually downloading the game now, just so I have it early. I'll need to check what server I'm on.

Nice! :)  I'm personally on the Withywindel server, but I know the others here might be on other servers.

I don't yet know what server I'll join; I haven't even downloaded it yet... X3

I'm downloading this right now since this thread tempted me to try it.

awesome!  yay for new players ^-^

I tried it out, made a character... it took almost an hour just to do that. I guess I won't be seeing y'all in game 3:

Nice job Magus for bringing in more players :P
As for Julius and I we're on Gladden. Sucks to be on different servers though.
Lemme drop a Tip: Don't feel hurried to reach the level cap, enjoy the ride and read the quest dialog, you won't get the full feel of quests if you just click accept and finish them.

How are the graphics on max setting?

Quote from: Book Smarts on 2012 Dec 01, 09:53:25
How are the graphics on max setting?

I'm not sure if I have it set up like that, but to me they look alright.

I will download it let's just hope my computer can handle it.

Best part about max graphics are some of the textures and the gorgeous draw distance. It makes you feel like you're a really small dot in a large, large world.
Oh have some screenshots on that!







Yeah..ended up uploading a lot of them lol

Sorry for the lack of variety..most of these were taken in East Rohan. I like to take pictures randomly when the scenery allows.

Gah! I wanna try out this game so bad, yet it takes forever to download...(Thank goodness for the ability to stop and resume the download later...).

Ah well, 60% there. Won't be long now... ovO

But then I'll end up spending an hour trying to decide on what class to play.  X3

it might start slow, but it gets awesome! :)

Tip: It may seem lonely at first, but once one of the high levels here joins you, it's very fun!

Surprisingly, pony doesn't come up often in the chat. lol

I'll see if I can play later. Haven't had an awful lot of time lately.

yay ^-^  I'll see if my internet comes back and I can join a few of you :)  I'm on Withywindel x3 I know others aren't >.<

If my computer could run it without 0.9FPS I'd play with you on there also, I had made my character on that server  ^-^

Tried this on my macbook, lags even on the lowest setting  :c

Lucky for me, I've had a really nice Geforce graphics card in this computer for while; it can handle just about any game with no problem. The only things holding me back is good old AT&T internet... :l

On the bright side, however, it's now 85% finished!  :D

That does look rather pretty... but so much homework... and 3DS soon... well, I guess it'll still be there in a month.  :/

late 2009  lol

Then I see no reason for you to lagg, it's not that old. :I

Maybe your Internet connection is the problem here?

Internet connection has little to do with framerates, so I think it might be an issue with too much stuff on your hard drive or you're running too many things at once.

Derp. :P

Finally finished downloading! The adventure begins... :D

I got my game working. Turns out...my characters are gone, I may have deleted them when I stopped playing. x3

that sucks teal >.< did you switch servers?  characters don't transfer from server to server.

I may have but I didn't see anything that "You have characters here"
It's not too bad, I only had one character and he was like, lvl 19 or something. x3

x3 well, which server are you on at the moment?  I could mail you some starting equipment to help lvl up quickly if you're on Withywindel.

I didn't make any characters yet, I was hoping to find out what servers we are on and then pick one. I'm thinking of going on Withywindel.

if you want to be on withywindel I'll be glad to see you there ^-^  Ahaut and Julius are on a different server though, so if you want to join them, that's fine too x3

Gladden for us, fine sir.

Whichever you choose is fine! After all, I'm sure Magus would enjoy other bronies to play with! ^-^

So I've made it to level 5 so far on my elven hunter. These intro quests are interesting, I'm just anxious to reach the actual Middle-Earth.  X3

I think Magus would like some company guys  :P
By the way Link which server are you on and what is your character's name?

I'm on Withywindel. But do you mean my log-in name or my character's name?  o.O

Character name

yay for link!  :D  I'll see if I can meet you in-game sometime ^-^  if you can tell me your character's name I can send a friend/kinship request :)  and then start mailing you items much better than the ones the vendors offer ovO

I'm going to start playing (took me long enough to decide to) LotRo now, making a human captain like before. I'll tell you guys my character's name once he's made.

great!  what server?

Withywindel of course. ^-^
Creating now...

I'll see if I can meet you in-game sometime this week :)  when i'm not in class x3

My character's name is Edlamir

That's a lovely name you got there!

LoL I pushed the randomizer 2 times and I got it. x3

So Magus, you mentioned I can sell my junk to somebody? I'd really, really like to find one...my backpack is stuffed already.  X3

Well I'm free in the open world now if anyone wants to come and join me sometime.
Again my character's name is Edlamir x3

You can sell your stuff to any NPC with a greenish rectangular icon hovering above their heads in the sell tab. Don't forget to repair too!

Magus, did you craft some armor for me? :\

I got some crafted armor in the mail that was way better than all of my level 7 equipment. lol

To whoever did it, thank you! ^-^

Sweet, must be a kinnie. I'll ask around!

As I may be able to get the game to work on my desktop, I'm also on Withynwindel with the name TSilentWolf, for the lawlz of it. ovO

Wow lot of ponies on Withywindle! :P

*celebrates* I wonder if my old kin is still there... if not I might make a pony kin ovO

Quote from: The Wandering Magus on 2012 Dec 05, 11:28:32

I just told Ahaut I'll play solo in regards to kinships. Don't tempt me. lol

Good thing you're on a different server. :P

Hey maybe I'll roll an alt and create a pony kin lol

So I picked the Yeo man vocation, since I like foodz and farming.
Bought 100 apprentice seeds, 100 buckets of water and 100 handfuls of fertilizer.
Planted 100 yellow onions.
Ended up with over 1,200 yellow onions.
:I
Anyone wanna take some onions? x3

cook them!  it's always good to use one skill to help another ;)  then you can vendor them!

I'm going to run out of money cooking them all into things before I can sell them! D:
See I need to BUY other ingredients, and even if I didn't I can't just find ingredients to make other ingredients, it's ALL PURCHASED in a store!

Please note, I'm not mad. I'm just making a point.
Also, I'm laughing. I got "Master Apprentice" from yellow onions alone. lol

I also got "Master apprentice" in cooking for making pork with the onions. lol

I still got like 1,19-something onions.

lol good job! :D  you should be able to move to the next tier now!  And you can vendor all the apprentice-level materials, since you won't be needing them for your next levels ^-^  unless you want to use them for morale boosts when out questing :P

X3
This morning I got up to Expert farming AND cooking.
I made 15 cabbage patches.
Ended up with over 200 cabbages. :I

Now I have lots and lots of tasty stuffed cabbage.

It's...a little too easy to raise your skills.

good job! O: that was fast lol  now you can proudly go into battle without fear! :D

It might just be farming and cooking since all the mats needed for them HAVE to be bought, and the prices are ridiculously low. lol

lol yeah, woodworking and tailoring are a mite harder to do :P

Yeoman comes with tailoring but I can't do much without leather.

You should team up with a forester, and collect all the hides you can get off animals if you want to level in that ;)  I'll see if I can help you out when I get online tomorrow or the day after, but if you're high enough level and want to level fast, you can try looking for leather in the Auction Houses.  Of course, it'll require bushels of copper/silver/gold, but you can probably get bushels of that if you're around lvl 20 by going to the northern Barrow-Downs and killing everything in sight in one of the barrows.  I prefer the one that has the empty entrance and opens into three giant rooms, since it requires minimal running and the mobs drop lots of loot without being too much of a hassle if you're careful.

I'm level 13.
Screwed there.

In honesty I'm not hardcore into this game, I just started playing again because you guys were playing.

I'll see if we can get you to 20 fast ovO  there's a few Fellowship quests I can help you on for fast leveling.  Mostly the strategy is "do every quest you see" if you come across non-grey quests.

Well I was doing that earlier, got bored and logged off.
My play times vary.

I know the feeling :P  but the world's so expansive and awesome that I keep coming back :3  even if just to run to a high place and take a look around at the sunsets stretching all the way to the horizon or something.

Yeah...the game is beautiful and the landscapes are massive and unique.

I want boats we can control, so I can boat out into the sea towards the sun....and most likely get eaten by some horrible sea monster. ovO

lol too bad the sea rarely ever shows up in the Books before the Fields of Pellanor :P  I guess the designers don't want anypony getting strange ideas and trying to sail off Arda into Valinor all on their own.  That, and I don't think they've expanded anywhere near that far yet; I know they have Rohan, but Gondor's not released, and Ered Luin doesn't go far south or west enough to reach the Grey Havens.  And Forochel saps your morale when you go for a swim :P

And swimming's slow as a snail in this game. >:(

I'm up for that, as long as you don't mind that I'm inactive.  lol (if I could join the band)

We should, I think the Lute would be perfect for the background music.

So today I went questing, got my own pony, and sat outside the prancing pony playing my lute. Then a guy gave me a "tip" of 300 silver!  :D

Oh happy day... :3

300 silver?! O:
Wow, that's awesome.
Today I died for the first time. :c

Bah, don't feel bad Teal. I've died tons of times now.  ovO

x3 did you fall off a cliff?  get beaten by a high-level mob?

I was fighting a spider queen, she had 4 minions that would fight with her.

I killed 1 of the minions before having to use a revive. Once I revived I healed and fought her again.
I WOULD have killed her, since I killed the other 3 minions easy and it was 1v1.
UNFORTUNATELY some other spider that wanders about got too close and joined the fight.

ah yes, she's a tough one. Luckily, I didn't even know she existed until I was around level 15... ovO

But anyway, feel free to add me; I can probably drop by and give you a hand if we both happen to be on.  ^-^

(In case you didn't see my earlier post, my characters name is Maelegil.)

You're making a pony band with lutes? o_O

Why don't we change servers Ahaut? lol

Psst, we could do that too

Quote from: The Wandering Magus on 2012 Dec 06, 17:29:42And Forochel saps your morale when you go for a swim :P

So I think I'm finally just about done with the quests in Ered Luin. Time to move to Bree-land.  ovO

I really want to try out a rune-keeper soon; they look awesomely fun to play, and I've always been good with the glass cannon characters. Only 2,400ish turbine points till I can afford the Mines of Moria pack... >.<

hey everypony on Withywindel, hope you enjoy my little golden coin lol

I might have missed friending somepony though... I have Maelegil, TSilentWolf, and Edlamir.  Anypony else on Withywindel I can friend/help?

Oh, and Link, there's a few deeds you can earn TP on in EL ;)  Did you search all the places and kill all the things?

Well, I've done every quest I can find, riding around the place on my horse. I still need to do all the tasks for Gondamon, but it looks like they're repeatable, and I'm not sure if I get TP for that as well.

This is what makes MMOs painful for me.  My friends play 60% more than I do and I get left behind. :'(
It always makes me feel awful and lazy, and that I should stop playing.
It makes me hurt inside with the conflict of either forcing myself to play when I don't want to play or to play something I want to play and feel worse about being farther behind. :c

I hate it, I wish I couldn't feel so left behind.

Don't feel bad about it Teal, I have no life.  :]

I've logged hundreds of hours on over 4 different games; just play the game as you see fit. Play it to enjoy it; just sit around in Bree and watch people go by, get a drink at the Prancing Pony - it's an entire world to do whatever you please in!  ^-^

And that's why I love MMO's.  :D

Your right about that, I tend to play MMOs to socialize with other people.
I actually HATE doing quests with other people. They always rush and try to do it as fast as possible. I tend to go slow and take (alot) of time to do a single quest.
Dungeons didn't bother me too much unless your allies are 'tarded but that's why I tend to not even go into dungeons in the first place.
I also can't stand how other people, no matter which class I play, tend to make me look pathetically weak.
Me-fights an enemy, kills in 12 seconds.
Other guy of the same class-Insta kill enemy.
:I
"WHAT THE-!" >:O DD:

Like I said, I'll try joining you sometime later either today or tomorrow :)  I've got a few bones to pick with the dwarves in Sarnur... :/

anything in particular that you might want/need for your character, Teal?  What class is your char?

I'm a captain class, I could use some good medium armor or maybe a greatsword or axe.

So I think I'm finally just about done with the quests in Ered Luin. Time to move to Bree-land.  ovO

This is what makes MMOs painful for me.  My friends play 60% more than I do and I get left behind. :'(
It always makes me feel awful and lazy, and that I should stop playing.
It makes me hurt inside with the conflict of either forcing myself to play when I don't want to play or to play something I want to play and feel worse about being farther behind. :c

I hate it, I wish I couldn't feel so left behind.

Don't feel bad, I'm still in the beginning of the game  X3

If I remember correctly starting at level 20 Captains can use Heavy Armour.

Lol one day I dared a guardian of my kinship to swim to a glacier in the sea (I pointed it out) and when he did nothing happened to him lol
dang, that's one strong guardian lol  or maybe he just happened to be wearing those pesky anti-cold items :P

Nope, he and I were messing around in Forochel doing deeds, and he with all his 22,000 Morale went in and didn't get hurt at all.
I on the other hand tried to do the same and hardly lasted for 10 seconds lol

I love the lord of the ring , but I didn't know it had a game! Let alone an online one! Yet sadly I can't say if its good , or bad because i'm currrently downloading it. Anyway i'm looking forward to it.

This game is awesome, I'm sure you'll love it Blues.

Sweet, hope to see you ingame soon! :D

I played it a bit, it's a fun game. The start of the game is a bit slow because you have to do like 30 quests before you can leave the start zone and roam freely.
It's easy to pick up and play, it runs very smoothly even on some poorer computers, theirs unique classes to specific races, and instruments! Musical instruments that you can actually buy and make custom songs with!
It makes the social part of the game so much fun! You use the 1-9 buttons for sounds and you can change the pitch from high to low.
EDIT: You don't need to use IRL money for the instruments, you use gold in game.

Another very cool feature to the game is you can look however you want, for real this time. You can pick up something you can't even use yet and make your clothing look like it, so you can have high defense with light looking armor or a smaller weapon than what you have. Theirs limits though, you can't make a short sword look like a greatsword, it has to be the same weapon type.
EDIT2: For clothing the limits are that you can't make your iron boots look like cloth, it has to be the same type of armor.
Theirs also items in the game SPECIFICALLY made to be cosmetic and cool looking. They tend to be expensive though.

@BluesMusic~ So here's all the good things I said about the game. ^-^

I can't help beyond lvl 20 then :P  but if anypony needs wood items (bows etc) or cloth, I've got plenty of those. :)  And books, if you can get me some scholar mats.

lol gotta love all that Morale

Well I finished the download , and went on withywindel I hope to see any of you there.

I may be on late tonight EST as it's friday. ^-^

i'm on now, for a bit, if anypony feels like joining me :)

Also: the new main screen music is AWESOME

Agreed. Honestly this game has music that is so relaxing that I like to play it while drinking a cup of tea every time I get a headache.

Also i'm currently level 7 , and my username is bluesmusic.

But I love how the skills in this game just begs you to get friends to help out. Like if you want to be an armourer you have to get some friends to be prospectors so you can all get profit.

@Kake and Blues: We can't add you to a friends list with your account names. We need your characters' names.

I should download that on Steam™ sometime... Is it good?

It's probably one of the most decorated, well designed, simple and fun MMOs I've ever played. x3

Might as well get it as a free christmas gift to me.

meh ill reinstal it again, I started playing it then got distracted  lol i dont even remember my account information so this should be intresting

As I may be able to get the game to work on my desktop, I'm also on Withynwindel with the name TSilentWolf, for the lawlz of it. ovO

That is my character name >:/

Finaly got it working again turns out i stoped after LV6 loremaster in Withywindle but ive decided scince i dont remember a think im starting anew so details on my pc may apear after i find a class i like  ovO

(http://lulzindustries.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/forever_alone.png)

We should probably switch servers. lol

x3

I'll be on most of this thursday and onward since winter break starts thursday :)  so if anypony wants me to come help them out or can go questing with me in moria, I'll be glad to try to arrange something ^-^

Grr....As much as I love being a glass cannon, and hiding behind my team-mates to deal damage, solo instances are a pain sometimes... >:(

In other news, I just found Bag End and the Party Tree....I need to go exploring more often.  X3

Also, the more I look at it, the more it seems that I'll have to throw $10 at this for the Moria expansion. Oh well, I'll just grind some extra tp out of my 2 current characters till I can get a ride to Gamestop... :I

Yep exploration is one part of the game I almost never get bored of, especially if you go to the corners and the very borders of maps it's very rewarding and intruging. Swim the Brandywine south for example and you'll see a bog-like place which is part of the Southfarthing :O

it's possible to get with a lot of grinding and four alts, but I guess there comes a point when you just have to pony up x3

and you get TP for it too ovO

Well...occasionally.

I think I just got a title for falling down a well o.O

anyways!  I'll be a bit busy tomorrow, but by thursday I'll be online as often as I can if any of you want some help with your quests and stuff on withywindel :)  Forchalthiel's the name ;)

Okay the Sara oak thing quest was a huge pain. She dies in a second , and walks so slowly. She cries when she gets hit , and doesn't even use her staff. Well thankfully I finished it.

glad you finished it, most escort quests are a pain.  just wait until the barrow-downs with Lala.  I skipped that quest for ten levels before coming back.

I had no idea there were still entire groups of people playing this Game XD

Riders of Rohan expansion just came out :] and I aim to be able to fight while mounted!  AND get to lvl 85 :3

well so far exept contacting Magus I have seen a grand total of wait for it
wait for it

Surely there are more  o.O

nope thats the honest amount I may be in a starting area at Lv 9 ((havent had a grand deal of time to play)) but that is all ive seen, prehaps i chose a bad starting area

Ahhh that, well as you level up more you will find more and more people. Especially in big towns like Bree and Esteldín there will be quite a few players roaming around. Again in the endgame town where I visit regularly the general population is around 50. There are always several hundreds playing the game at all times.
Also if you go to Brandywine or Landroval servers you will find a lot of people.

if you feel like starting over in another server :P

when you get to Eregion there's usually always a few around, at least for me.  I'm not seeing too many in moria for some reason.  And yes, the crafting hall in Esteldin usually has at least two other players, since it's one of the few places with superior workbenches and is next to the crafting guilds.

Speaking of crafting, if somepony wants to request items, I can mail wood weapons and light to medium armor, any tier up to legendary.  Just get me some hides or wood if you can, if you can't I'll go get the hides and wood myself.

Unfortunately not the case in subsequent areas :C

very unfortunate x3

Yep too much convenience in places that look like (http://s14.directupload.net/images/111007/35twol63.jpg)
Just my opinion though  X3

Re-downloading the game right now, I'm so remaking my lore-master  :D

I've hit level 26 and loving this, but I'll either need to grind some TP or buy some to keep up my levelling soon.  :I

hit 65 and stuck just before Lothlorien, because I'm F2P and cheap like that and only got Moria with lots of hard work...

if any of you want help or stuff, just ask for Forchalthiel x3

I'm level 5  lol , atleast the gear they give you at this level is cool. Wish it was possible to go through the game with the starting human gear  X3

Aw well keep grinding and you'll get to 85 soon!
I think you should go to the Great River next. The level range (or lack thereof) was recently scaled.

nice!  I'll see if I can grind enough TP to get the quest pack for that.  And if any of you need light/medium armor or wooden weapons and stuff, just ask!

Is the Scholar/Historian profession combo any good?

Yes Scholars are very much in demand, also you can farm billions of things and sell them to other people in giant stacks  ^-^
You can make weapons too, but you need to get ingots for yourself, which are forged from ore mined from the game world. That's a Prospector's job.

you can also choose explorer if you just want quick silver/gold without needing to actually craft much, and also make light/medium armor for yourself.  Lots of choices.

Was it jewelers that made hope-buffing tokens?

Is there one server that everyone here plays on and is there a kinship to go along with it?

I'm on Withywindel, not sure about the others.  I know quite a few are here with me.

I play on Landrovel have a lvl 76 Elven Hunter

nice :3  only a few more lvls to go for rohan ovO

I love Rohan one of my favorite exspansions, the mounted combat is AMAZING!  :3

I'll look forward to it when I get there xD  Even if it takes a long, long time...

With the rate I'm leveling, I'll probably never see that content

x3 keep trying!

Yes

I'll need to make one of those chars...

Bringing this thread back to life after re-disocvering LOTRO (I've been playing a ton of League of Legends lately... X3).


I've gotten my hunter to level 30, and trying to find stuff to level up on. I also sold one of my hats on TF2 for a rather large sum of steam funds, and got the triple pack with it, and still had like $35 leftover!  ^-^

So yea, trying to get friends into it, and enjoying the Rune-keeper class a LOT.  0:)

yay! :D  what server are you on again?

This game is just gonna haunt me forever. >.<

Oh, you made me think that you had a bad experience with it or something... X3

EDIT: my main is named Maelegil, and my alt is Elswyn.  ^-^

okie dokie loki ^-^ ...now to wait for the program to finish updating.... x3

I know right? Them dat files.... >.<

I also play on the Russian server.
Good game. Only the combat system I do not really like

yay it works! :D  let's see if I can find your name :3

Does anyone have suggestions for the level gap of 40-50? I can't really find any one region that will do it for me.... :s

I tried it once..... Crashed my computer xD

I'm gonna try to play it today.
I get the feeling I'll get stuck at character creation again. >.<

On second thought I just can't bring myself to do it. DD:

And when you do, get on Withywindel.  :D

Just installed it, is there a difference between servers.
English, European, PvE, ... and all that

Also, if everypony gets on Withywindel, send mail to Forchalthiel, Karlglain or Stipra, and I'll see if I can form a Kinship for us if you want :3

IT BEGINS.... ovO

if only I could get myself motivated enough to do all those quests while staying within my daily allotment of free time... xD I'm always afraid of just not having enough time to finish a quest...

So I added your characters to my friends list Magus.
Turns out one of my character's still exist so I don't need to worry about that long, boring starter region sequence. :D

So I just played...7 hours? o.O
Didn't think it was 7 hours but okay. I played up to level 18 from level 13.

Okay!  whoever wants to try joining the kinship I just made, called Equestrian Legends, please send mail to either Forchalthiel (me) or Edlamir (teal), and we'll try to be online at the same time.  I apparently need 8+ kinship members within 5 days, or else the kin gets disbanded.  Once I send the request and you accept, I'll promote all of you to Officer and let you all go recruit others ^-^
